Police Like a Samurai

A newly translated 19th-century book, written by samurai, describes martial arts techniques designed to help police officers of the time. The highly guarded practices included how to tie suspects up using paper string and fighting techniques that allowed officers to defeat suspects without killing them.

Sounds perfect!

The book, which contains illustrated instructions, was published in 1888, a time when the samurai class had lost many of its privileges and the formally secretive martial art schools that taught the samurai were willing to divulge their secrets.

Ropes instead of handcuffs. A primitive form of CPR taught to resuscitate drowning victims.

Not silly. Samurai martial arts techniques and a good night stick would be adequate for 90% of all 21st century police work. A very few firearms available for use by special officers only after release by the head of the CPD and the mayor or mayor's representative. If police do not have firearms, than criminals will not feel that they need to be armed with firearms.

One of the good things about the samurai culture was that they were allowed to chop the heads off of peasant troublemakers with few repercussions. That might solve some of the current issues plaguing the country?

I'm not suggesting they replace firearms, but issuing officers with swords as an additional weapon seems a sound idea. Imagine the crowd control possibilities of a screaming phalanx of sword-wielding coppers charging a recalcitrant crowd during the PR parade festivities in Humboldt Park!

GO away you Troll... if you really believe that you are a liberal nut job. Good luck on being victimized.

What...until before or after they realize they still need them to shoot at each other and hit licks on people? Last I checked criminals are armed with guns in England despite their police not being armed. Yeah I know, he's being sarcastic..but just in case.

My prognostication: About July 15 you are going to see the IL National Guard patrolling with M4s, M203s and Humvees with an M2 or Mk19 in the turret ring. The Black Lives Matter crew will s--t themselves sideways. But the blood will stop flowing, as the thugs are cowed. And about two weeks later, the candy ass politicians will disarm the Guard, except for their M9s. After the two weeks of quiet, the carnage returns.

This would be great, but in today's camera world you will be judges as wrong, then Eddie and his gold star club would be renting a movie theater "wheres my popcorn" and screening the latest videos, the old er the better with the news media and elected idiots looking to bitch slap,and suspend possibly criminally charge any working coppers like he is doing now! Coppers thought eddie was the "great black savior" but now it looks like he is the "great black devastator," ruining what is left of a wounded department.

Yes, martial arts and a night stick will work for 90% of our work, but it's the 10% where it won't work that will kill you. It's also unfortunate that you don't know it's falling in the 10% category until it's too late. Your belief that the criminals are armed as a reaction to the police being armed is even more wrong.

Being able to subdue an opponent without injuring them is one of the things I love about Judo and Jujitsu. You can use pain to gain compliance without actually injuring someone.

One of the black belts at my club demonstrated how to get someone out of a chair by placing one hand behind their head and the blade of the other hand under their nose and then lifting up. Your body naturally wants to move to avoid the pain; there is no resisting. Similar situation with taking someone down or walking them off using a wrist lock. Their body will automatically follow where you lead them.

If police do not have firearms, than criminals will not feel that they need to be armed with firearms.

ROTFLMAO! You can't be serious. Honestly, you engage in a fallacy - one in which you believe that a CRIMINAL will engage in fair play.

If they engaged in fair play, they would obey the law!

The only thing you can count on with a criminal is that they're not to be trusted - not one nanometer. Don't buy into the libtard narrative that if you don't have a gun the criminals won't find it necessary either - you're not responsible for any sort of escalation. You're responsible for ensure YOU go home at the EOS. And if you want to do that, make sure you have a gun.

Some real martial arts training would be nice. Lets be honest if most POs had to go toe to toe in an alley with no back up against a real bad guy... it wont end well for you. No matter how much you puff your chest out or stare really hard.
